Water Quality Snapshot: SIX-0-FIVE MHC
SIX-0-FIVE MHC is a private-owned community water system that delivers drinking water to 201 residents in BANNER ELK, Virginia (Louisa County) through 96 service connections. Its water is drawn from groundwater sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 198 total violations for this system , of which 19 (10%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 162 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2025.
The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is Coliform (TCR), recorded in 29 violations (MR). This system has not yet been sampled under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, so no PFAS detection data is available here.
Across Virginia, EPA tracks 2,821 public water systems serving 7,911,199 people, with 146,670 cumulative violations and 25,642 health-based violations on record. About 90% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 52 violations. SIX-0-FIVE MHC's 198 violations sit above the Virginia average. Statewide, 70 of 171 UCMR5-tested systems have reported PFAS detections (40.9%). All figures above are sourced directly from EPA SDWIS and UCMR5 public data releases and are updated as EPA publishes new reporting cycles.
